Before being called 'Jews', they were called 'Hebrews': descendants of Abraham the 'hapiru' = 'wanderer'. Abraham would have been a polytheist (believer in many gods) before God called him. After the Hebrews settled in the Promised Land, they were called Israelites, and later, Jews. So technically, the answer is "no", because they were not called 'Jews' until long after they became monotheists (believers in one God). nathan.waterman@gmail.com

For Jews, Abraham, Ishaq, Yaqub, so on chain of Prophet of Allah [God]
Jews believe in God. The word Yahweh, Jehovah, and all variations are Christian words that have never been used by Jews. In daily conversation most Jews use the name HaShem to refer to The Creator.
I think you are trying to ask, "Who was the founder?" and most historians consider this to be Abraham, the twelve tribes of Israel descending from his descendants.
